Harbaugh says re-signing Morgan will be a priority

Morgan, who was placed on the season-ending injured reserve list today, will be a free agent in the offseason.

But Harbaugh said San Francisco intends to re-sign the wide receiver who ranks second on the team in catches (15) and yards (220) after five games.

“Yes, we’ve told him that and we’ll make that a priority,” Harbaugh said of re-signing Morgan.

Morgan underwent surgery Monday after breaking a bone in his lower right leg in last week’s win against Tampa Bay. Screws were inserted during surgery, but Harbaugh said Morgan did not suffer ligament damage and his injury is not career-threatening.
